We Asked, You Said, We Did

We Asked

We asked for contributions and opinions on the Draft Surrey 2016-21 Tobacco Control Strategy. We specifically asked for feedback and comments on the strategy ambition, outcome and five priority areas.

You Said

We received 19 responses to the consultation. This included feedback from voluntary Organisations, Borough and District council, NHS, Children’s Centre, Surrey County Council, Clinical Commissioning Group, Business and members of the public.

68% of respondents supported the strategy ambition and outcome statement, agreeing that it was realistic and achievable.

We Did

We have taken on board the feedback received and will implement the following changes:

Changing of the wording of priorities to ensure they are measurable

Ensure priorities are clear and focussed

Ensure it is clear that an action plan supports the delivery of the priorities

Remove infographic of borough and district smoking prevalence because of low confidence levels of the data

We Asked

Whether Sunnydown School should be redesignated as Communication and Interaction Needs (CoIN).

You Said

83% of responses agreed with the proposal. 17% disagreed. Concerns were raised about the impact on existing pupils. However there are no plans to change the pupils currently attending the school, and these pupils fit within the CoIN need description so would be unaffected.

We Did

Statutory notices were published on 12 April for a further 4 week period during which interested parties can make representations.
